Wii U downloads are really that slow?

People shouldn't have to buy extras such as external hardrives to take advantage of the product they spent hundreds on. But if it's no problem for the OP then more power to him

If the console had a larger built-in HDD it would have cost more. You aren't spending more money by buying your own external. But if you aren't planning on purchasing anything digitally, you are saving money.

I think the $300 model is the better deal, actually. You can get way more than 24 gigs for that extra $50.
